1.4 - The Brain - Imaging & Scans

What does EEG measure in the brain?

• Blood flow

• Hormone levels

• Electrical activity

• Structural damage

Which brain imaging technique tracks blood flow to active regions?

• EEG

• CT scan

• fMRI

• PET scan

What is an advantage of using an EEG?

• Provides high-resolution images

• Measures brainwaves in real time

• Tracks brain blood flow

• Detects structural abnormalities

What does fMRI stand for?

• Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

• Full Magnetic Resonance Integration

• Focused Magnetic Recording Index

• Functional Magnetic Recording Imaging

Lesioning studies involve studying:

• The effects of natural or induced brain damage

• Real-time brain activity during tasks

• Electrical activity in brainwaves

• Structural abnormalities in the brain
